LGBTQ Breaking News Service

Atlanta Rapper Mario Judah found himself at the center of a rather unfortunate controversy on May 21. A video leaked online, showing someone that looked a lot like the 22-year-old musician engage in sex with another man. Both of the individual’s faces could not be seen, but the distinct red hair of one of them led many social media users to believe it was indeed Judah.

The video in question appears to originate from Reddit, where it was uploaded roughly a month ago. It then made its way to Twitter, thanks to one user who goes by the handle @juniiorXYT__. The individual’s account was then suspended. All other videos of the two individuals have also been taken down and are no longer visible on social media. Nonetheless, the existence of the video has got many users talking. A key question – is Judah gay? The rapper’s sexuality has become a key bone of contention since the video leaked and the answer seems elusive to say the least.

Is Mario Judah gay?

Judah, whose original name is Mario Diamond-Judah Douglas hasn’t exactly been very public about his personal life. While he’s given quite a few interviews since going viral with his breakout hit ‘Die Very Rough’, he hasn’t exactly spoken in great length about his personal life. But if there’s one thing we know, it’s that he isn’t gay. Back in January, he posted a staged assault on his ex-girlfriend, to raise awareness about cheating. 

That controversial video, while alarming, does prove that Judah isn’t gay. It’s unclear if Judah is dating anyone else at present, since that breakup. Maybe he is bisexual, but he hasn’t really hinted that he is. There’s no indication from his social media accounts or interviews that he is gay or bisexual, so either he isn’t or he’s keeping it well under wraps. 

As for the video itself, it is hard to say if Judah is one of the individuals in it. While it does show a lot, it doesn’t show the face of the two people involved. All we could see was one of them had bright red hair, very much like Judah. The singer hasn’t commented on the tape either, so that leaves plenty to the imagination.

‘Why is the sex tape real’ 

Twitter was quick to get Judah’s name trending as many users shared memes and GIFs in response to his alleged sex tape. “Why is the Mario Judah sex tape real” one user asked. Another said, “Stop Tweeting about Mario Judah!!!” but to no avail.

“Just seen why Mario Judah is trending, im logging off from Twitter for the day” said one person. Another said, “I wish I could unsee the Mario judah leaked video.”

Another joked, “When mario judah said die very rough i didnt expect him to be talking about gay sex”. Another said, “Wait Mario Judah is gay???”

Despite being tagged by several people, Judah is yet to respond to the allegations that it is him in the video. Meanwhile, Twitter seems to have quickly taken down all the tweets that feature it. Was that done at Judah’s request? We’ll only know if and when the singer chooses to address the controversy.

Lil Nas X was “afraid” of coming out as gay.

The ‘Old Town Road’ hitmaker came out in June 2019, and has now admitted he was terrified of telling the world he is gay but knew he had to “stand in [his] truth” for the sake of all the other young people like him.

He said: “I was afraid because I knew the world was watching, and all I ever saw for boys like me was judgment and ridicule, but it was because the world was watching, that I knew I had to stand in my truth.”

And Nas X – whose real name is Montero Hill – said he hopes society reaches a point where it is “no longer ground-breaking” for LGBTQ artists to find success.

Speaking as he was honoured at the Native Son Awards, he said: “Some people say I am pushing an agenda, and I am. It’s called liberation. There’s no road map when you’re the first to break a barrier, and I hope that one day it’s no longer ground-breaking for queer artists to find mainstream success…. Until that day comes, there’s work to do and I will continue to do my part.”

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old rapper recently insisted it’s “not [his] job” to be a good role model.

He said: “At first I felt a sense of responsibility. But now I kind of just don’t care. It’s not my job. Of course I want to spread good ideals, but I’m not nobody’s parents. At the end of the day, I’m just doing me, and hoping everybody else is following the lead, and doing themselves.

“Part of my plan is to make sure people know I’m going to do whatever the f*** I want, when I want to, and if you’re mad at it, I’m going to laugh in your face.”

Nas X recently released his latest single, ‘Montero (Call Me By Your Name)’, and accompanied it with a note written to his 14-year-old self, in which he reflected on coming out as gay two years ago.

And now, the musician says he initially feared he would have to be “straight passing” if he wanted to continue his career.

He explained: “[I thought that I wouldn’t be] allowed to be really sensual or anything … like, I’m gay but I’m not ‘gay’ … like, I’m gay but I have to make sure you feel like I can be straight passing too.”
